FAQ

Q: How do I flash this rom?

First of all installl Hard-SPL from Cmonex. Read this thread carefully. Double check if the installation of Hard-SPL succeeded. Before flashing it is best to have a fully loaded battery.

When you downloaded the rom unpack the zip file and start CustomRUU.exe. It should be pretty self-explanatory. Don't panic. The flashing process and the first boot can take some time.

Q: How do I perform a hard reset?

Shut down the device. After that hold down VolUP + VolDown (simultaneously) and press the Power button once. Now a screen should appear asking you to restore the device to factory settings. Press VolUp to Confirm.

Q: I am having problems flashing the rom with CustomRUU.exe. Can I flash in another way?

You can try the official RUU for Blackstone to flash. Also flashing from SD card is an option. To flash from SD just rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh, copy it to the root of your SD card, and flash the rom from the tri-color screen by pressing the power button.

Q: I can rotate the screen by long-pressing the call button but how can I rotate it clockwise?

Using a Registry editor and edit HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation and change "LandScapeMode" from 1 to 4.

Q: How can I configure the softbuttons?

You can use Softkey Manager (blackstone mode) for that which you can find in Settings, or you can edit the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"="Contacts"
"HomeLSKPath"="poutlook.exe"
"HomeLSKArguments"="contacts"
"HomeRSKText"=""
"HomeRSKPath"=""
"HomeRSKArguments"=""

Q: How can I enable threaded SMS?

By default threaded SMS is disabled in this rom. To enable threaded SMS you can use the threading sms tool in Settings->System.

Q: Although I can toggle BT beam from CommManager I want to restore the beam applet. How can I restore the applet?

Install this cab to restore the beam applet.

Q: I can't receive files with bluetooth

Enable beam from the Comm Manager.

Q: I can't turn on Data Connection in Comm Manager

This is standard behaviour of CommManager. It will be enabled when you:

1. configured your carrier datasettings (typically done during system setting by "Connection Setup".

2. start a network connection e.g. by opening a webpage in Opera or PIE.

Once the connection is established you can terminate the data connection in CommManager.

Q: How can I get applications to rotate?

You can rotate the screen by long pressing the call button. See cerato's post which explains adding applications to the sensor whitelist for auto rotation.

Q: Google Maps isn't in English

Some versions of Google maps use the language depending on your regional settings.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The display language on

Google Maps is determined by the locale information on your mobile

device. As you discovered, changing the display language in your

device is the only way to resolve the issue at this time. Google Maps

for mobile currently supports Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,

and Spanish. If your phone is set to one of those languages and Google

Maps shows a different language, please let us know.

As always, we appreciate your feedback.

Q: How can I rotate the screen?

You can rotate the screen by long pressing the Call/Dial button. For autorotation of applications you have to add the applicationname to the sensor whitelist. Here is an example

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"Calculator"="CalculatorMain"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName]
"Calculator"="\\Windows\\htcCalculator.exe"
